Understanding Your Stove; Becoming Familiar With Your Controller - CASTLE Serenity Instructions D'utilisation

UNDERSTANDING YOUR STOVE

Your Castle Pellet Stove utilizes a vertical auger fuel feed system
that is operated by a microprocessor controlled digital circuit
board. The digital circuit board allows the vertical auger fuel
system to run in a timer based, non-continuous cycle; this cycling
allows the auger to run for a predetermined amount of time. The
auger pushes pellets up a chute located in the hopper. The pellets
will then turn and fall through another chute into the burn pot.
Your stove is equipped with an automatic ignition system that
should ignite the fuel within 3-5 minutes of pressing the On/Off
button. As pellets fill the burnpot and ignite, outside air is drawn
across the fuel and heated during the combustion process which
is then pulled across the heat exchanger by the exhaust motor or
the draft fan. As the stove reaches operating temperature, room
air is then circulated around the heat exchanger by a room air
blower, distributing warm air into the room.
The amount of heat that is produced by the stove is proportional
to the rate of fuel that is burned.
Because a forced draft pressure is required for the combustion
process inside your stove, it is extremely important that the
exhaust system be properly installed and maintained. Also, the
doors must remain closed while in operations and the seals on the
doors must be properly maintained.
